Help me! I drove my '95 ti into town the other day. After running an errand my car started fine but would not hold the idle. CEL came on and no matter how many times I started the engine and revved it, each time I took my foot off the gas it died. Had it towed to the shop, but the car started fine for them and held idle. This is an off and on problem for me. Tonight, again my car wouldn't idle so I drove with two feet until I got the RPM's to where the CEL turned off and then the car ran fine...any ideas? I have cleaned the throttle body. My idle is always a bit rough and hunts quite a bit even if it doesn't stall out all the time. '95 ti with 148k Any insight would be helpful Thanks | | | 09-17-2008, 06:58 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Memphis, Tn Posts: 1,299 | Have you checked for vacuum leaks, or looked at the spark plugs? __________________ custom dual exhaust,M3 front and rear bumper, 10.4 inch roof mount drop screen, Viper alarm system, DSII's rims, M3 Vader Seats, M3 Mirrors, Carbon Fiber CAI, Smoked Corners, Side Markers, Leatherz armrests, black grilles 225k miles and still the Ti goes on | | | 09-17-2008, 04:00 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 | Check for intake leaks, if none. Disconnect the MAF at the wire and see if it gives you an unstable idle but will continue to run. The other thing is it could be a dirty idle control valve. They tend to get oily and gum up, cleaning it will help. | | | 09-17-2008, 07:17 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Oxnard, CA - SoCal Posts: 258 | I know these issues all too well. I would definitely clean the idle control valve (here's the write-up http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...d.php?t=454501 , check for leaks (with the car running, spray brake cleaner around the tb, intake, hoses, etc - if there's a surge, then its a leak), if that seems to work, check the AFM - I have one for sale BTW. Let me know if this works... __________________ - David | | | 09-18-2008, 12:44 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | Quote: Originally Posted by M-technik-3 Check for intake leaks, if none. | I'll second this, I had the same problem with my 95 and it was because the hose for my intake had a crack in between two of the ridges, about a foot of duct tape later, my car idled just fine the hose is about $25 new if you don't like duct tape under your hood | | | 09-20-2008, 06:38 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 | Update? | | | 09-28-2008, 02:24 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 | If the CEL turned on then there should be a code stored for the issue. Not 100% sure since I think 1995 is OBDI. Did you scan it for a error code? | | | 09-28-2008, 07:56 AM | #8 | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: California Posts: 15 | Thanks for all the input! I'm still planing on cleaning out the ICV since this sounds like a common issue for many of you. The write up looks pretty straightforward and I'll give it a shot this weekend now that I have the gaskets that I need. This idle issue has been very intermittent so it's an easy one to procrastinate on Thanks for all your input and I'll post back once I get this thing figured out. Stay tuned... | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
